Whether you’ve put down Pokémon Go for a while or you’re still addicted, the next few days are going to test your phone’s battery. The Pokémon Go Halloween special is giving away all sorts of goodies that’ll have you playing solidly. Then it looks like new Daily Quests are being introduced. And all that is supported by the FastPokéMap again.

First up. The Pokémon Go Halloween special runs from 26 October to 1 November. During that time players will be given way more chances to catch the spookier Pokémon types like Drowzee, Hypno, Ghastly, Golbat, Zubat, Gengar and Haunter.

The special event also means players will get double the candies for catching and transferring Pokémon as well as a massive quadruple the candies for walking with their buddy.

Once the event is over that won’t mean things go back to normal though. The guys over at Pokemon Go Hub have been digging into the game’s code and believe there are new Daily Quests coming. These look like they’ll involve a first catch of the day, first PokéStop of the day and another that can’t be confirmed yet. The rewards are unclear but an incubator is mentioned in the code. What is apparent is the ability to perform Streaks of these Daily Quests to get even greater rewards.

On top of all that the FastPokéMap is back meaning you’ll be able to track and locate Pokémon more easily once again. It’s unstable right now but here’s hoping it stays running this time.
